Why VA loans

Advantages earned through service.

$0 down payment

Most VA-eligible borrowers can purchase with nothing down — keeping savings available for moving expenses and reserves.

No PMI ever

VA loans eliminate the need for private mortgage insurance entirely, even at zero down — potentially saving hundreds each month.

Favorable rates

Backed by the federal government, VA loans generally offer lower interest rates compared to conventional programs for similar credit profiles.

Accommodating credit

VA lending guidelines tend to be more forgiving on credit scores and debt-to-income ratios than standard conventional requirements.

Reusable entitlement

Your VA loan benefit can be used multiple times — and you can refinance through the streamlined IRRRL program as well.

Capped closing costs

The VA restricts which fees borrowers can be charged at closing, and sellers are permitted to contribute toward your costs.
